HC Deb 26 November 2001 vol 375 c644W
Mr. Howard

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many higher rate taxpayers there were in the constituency of Folkestone and Hythe for each year since April 1997. [17736]

Dawn Primarolo

There were 2,700 higher rate income taxpayers in the constituency of Folkestone and Hythe in the 1999–2000 tax year. This estimate is based on the Survey of Personal Incomes. I regret that estimates are not available for earlier years.
